Answer 1

Has anyone that you were close too recently passed? It could be them trying to let you know something. I hear voices sometimes too I've also woke up in the middle of the night staring at my husband. My husband has been passed on for almost seven years now so sometimes it's kinda scary but it makes me feel so safe. Don't be scared they can't hurt you. Talk to them ask them what they want, why they are there. If you ever need anyone to talk to you can write to me.

Answer 2

The good news is that probably you're not being invaded by evil spirits or aliens from another planet. It's doubtful you have a brain tumor.
The bad news is that you might be schizophrenic. At least you should get tested for it. The voices are a common symptom of schizophrenia. Sometimes schizophrenia can also be mistaken for deja vu. " False memories that are brought on by schizophrenia can be confused with deja vu as well. Unlike true deja vu, which typically lasts from 10 to 30 seconds, these false memories or hallucinations can last much longer." (reference 1)
Here is another reference that links them: "Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and dèjá vu experiences have something in common—all involve the entorhinal cortex region of the brain. In fact, findings linking dèjá vu to the entorhinal cortex may explain how schizophrenia delusions are formed.
In the murky interior of the brain's left and right temporal lobes can be found the entorhinal cortex. This structure is located not far from the hippocampus and is known to be vital for memory processing. "
You should get tested, but don't be afraid if they do come up with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, because they can treat a lot of people very successfully these days, and you can lead a normal life. This is nothing to be ashamed of.
The last reference lists a page of resources and I think it is important to take a look at the sectoins about early diagnosis and about finding a good psychiatrist.
I wish you well and I applaud your courage for asking questions that can lead you to recovery of normal function.

first thing that i need to say is stay calm. there are solutions to everything in life. usually the people who think they are crazy are the ones who are actually the sane ones.you may have a true gift, many people experience these gifts. some people would see a phsyciatrist for seeing or hearing things and typically the doctor would ask alot of questions and possibly come up with a diagnosis of scizophrenia. however, the cases of scizophrenia that i encountered also have alot more issues than what you are describing. i am not a doctor, but i have worked in the mental health field as staff of such patients. most of these patients would not be so open to discussing these types of things. which is why i believe that you are gifted. we are all capable of a deeper conciousness with the world around us. some fine tune it and others disregard it. only you can determine whether or not this is a gift or a mental health issue. i would love to know you decision. either way, you have alot of courage to allow others to give feed back on this and that is definitely a true gift.

1. Deja vu: does the deja vu occur with normal, everyday things (ie. buying a coffee or walking to school) or with really weird, out of the ordinary things? If it occurs with normal things, then its not really deja vu - it is just that your brain is so used to the same pattern that you are usually not even conscious of it anymore. When you suddenly do pay attention, your brain mistakes the experience as new and strange but at the same time knows that it has seen it before, that is, it mistakenly thinks it's deja vu.

2. Voices:First, look at what you do before you go to sleep. Do you listen to music or have caffeine or alcohol or any medication? If you do, that could be interfering with your sleep and causing you to have auditory hallucinations (ie. hearing voices). The stress about hearing voices can also affect your sleep.

Therefore, it is important to set up a good "sleep hygiene" - this means a set ritual before sleep that allows your body to calm down from an excited state and allow you to get a good night's sleep. Look up some info and try one out for a little while to see if it helps. If you continue to have problems, speak to a doctor - there may be medical problems underlying your hallucinations.

Lastly, I don't know what, if any, your faith background. If you're religious, many people find it comforting to turn to God to help relieve their fears. Try to say some prayers asking for help in sleeping and ask God to help you bear your worries and burdens throughout the day and night. You can also ask for protection from evil during the night. Many Catholics say a night prayer to their guardian angel, asking them to stand watch over their bodies and souls as they sleep.

I hope this is helpful - sleep well!

Answer 5

Alex, either your mind is playing tricks on you because it only happens when you are in bed...I would think that it was a mental problem,..but because you said it only happens in bed at night I don't think you are...I think you should try some headphones and listen to some good talk radio shows or music or a tape..and see if that doesn't block out the 'voices'...if not, then you might go see a councilor...I would even put a tape recorder in the room to rule out someone playing tricks on you. Good luck dear

Answer 6

next time you hear them.. answer back saying "what do you want?" and if they ask you to take out the trash.. it's probably your parents...

if you honestly think you're having visions and hearing voices and experiencing dejavu... seek some mental help before jumping to conclusions.. you may just be freaking yourself out... if you don't have that kind of money.. get over being afraid of them and go make friends....

Answer 7

I don't exactly know what this may or may not be, I would consult a school counselor or if you are out of school I would get ahold of your doctor and have them refer you to either a psychiatrist or counselor so they can look deeper into the situation. That does sound scary though-Good Luck!

Answer 8

ok, i am serious

this happened to me before, you said that you hear the voices right when you lay down. that could be because you are starting to drift into a pre sleep state were your mind can play tricks on you, once i heard heavy breathing and then alot of whispering like they were surrounding me. but i found out that its part of a sleep disorder and it makes audio hallucinations occur.

Answer 9

It is one of the first signs of schitzophrenia. My aunt has it and this was how it started for her. Please stay calm and realise that they are not real and can't hurt you. Look in the phonebook and find a psychologist or even a counselling service or doctor that can refer you. If you can't afford that then go to you local public hospitals accident emergeny and ask to go to the psych ward. I'm serious. It will only get worse without medication. Please take care of yourself. It's nothing to be embarrassed of. Just understand it does need treatment. Like a broken leg would. Good luck.

Answer 10

Serious answer without patronizing...

First, why are you scared? If nothing bad has happened in the past after hearing your named called, why not just realx and see what happens when you pay attention???

Second, if you answer maybe you will find out what the "voices" want and then it may not happen again.

No need to be afraid if nothing bad has happened so far.

Good luck and let us know what happens, ok?
